However, a second wave of inflation is expected to hit weakened economies with high debt levels that cannot withstand high interest rates. This could have significant implications for the economy. CBs are losing the fight (they never really fought) against inflation because there is a need to roll over growing public debt which markets can't absorb anymore.
